David Cordover, Jon Tisdall, Einar Karlsson, Martin Pribyl and
others amongst those who helped.
1) THE INTEL WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS
-----------------------------------
Deadline approaches, so I have to be brief today.
New York (USA), IX 1995.
----------------------------------------------------------
1 2 3 4
----------------------------------------------------------
Anand, Viswanathan g IND 2725 = = = = 2.0 2795
Kasparov, Gary g RUS 2795 = = = = 2.0 2725
----------------------------------------------------------
Four draws, not nearly as uninteresting as some commentators
have suggested. Anand clearly came with the idea of playing
solidly in the first week. He missed one, reasonably simple
winning chance in Game 3 (see below). Kasparov has looked
uncomfortable and is the one offering all the draws.
Kasparov looks like he will be concentrating on 1. d4 and
I think that the quiet game four will have been him buying
time to set his seconds onto Anand's choice of the
Nimzo-Indian and Queen's Indian (I presume) setups.
Probably he will try a sharp Queen's Indian next week.
Here is a textfile of the games with briefly indicative notes.
There is no great intellectual work in here. I will try and
build on various notes and suggestions throughout the event.
(also work on a generally available PGN format next time.)

2) FIDE Battle
-----------
There is at the moment a ferocious battle for control of FIDE.
61 countries, digusted by the inaction of FIDE since the re-election
of Campomanes in Moscow have tried to convene a special meeting
in France. This heads off a conference in Qatar where it is
supposed that Campomanes will have more influence over the delegates.
Kamsky meanwhile is still trying to get backing for his match with
Karpov. Raymond Keene said on TV yesterday that Campomanes is
deliberately sabbotaging the Karpov-Kamsky match as part of
the deal he made with Kasparov in Moscow. It appears from recent
FIDE documents that the Philippines Chess Federation has also stopped
supporting Campo. The documents appear at the end of this section of
TWIC.
3) Stefansson wins the Fridrik`s Tournament
----------------------------------------
Report by Einar Karlsson.
After only 10 move former world champion Smyslov looked up and asked
Hannes Stefansson if he was playing for a win in the game? Stefansson
smiled and said no and they shuck hands. Thus Stefansson was the sole
winner of the tournament. The last round was a very peaceful one
though both Hjartarson and Helgi Olafsson tried very hard to win. The
only game not ending in a draw was between Petursson and Polgar.
Margeir secured the second place in the tournament by winning.

A new star is coming - Sergei Movsesian wins another tournament!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Finishing 2/2 21 years old student Vlastimil Babula won the traditional
chess festival in the Moravian town Zlin. 16 years old Sergei Movsesian
continued in his victory serie. Sergei had a good start (4/5) and from the
sixth round till the end all the games finished in a draw. Vlastimil Babula
had only 1/3, he began to play and his two wins in the last two rounds brought
Vlastimil his second GM norm. Russian GM Alexander Vaulin lost the only game
in the 8th round against young IM Tomas Polak. Artur Kogan had a good chance
for a norm, his chances ended Babula (with a hapiness) in the 8th round.
GM Karel Mokry played solid and all the games finished in a draw. IM Petr Haba
lost in the last year 100 ELO points (he had 2510). After 1st price in Ceske
Budejovice Open (see TWIC 44) came another not so bad result. GM Igor Stohl
lost against IM Marek Vokac in the interesting theoretical Gruenfeld defence.

Letter from FEDERATION FRANCAISE DES ECHECS to FIDE
---------------------------------------------------
Mr Florencio CAMPOMANES
President of FIDE
Montpellier
September 8th, 1995
Mister President
Upon request of over a third of the Federations, I ask you to convene an
Extraordinary General Assembly in France before the 8th of November in
application of article 4.15 of the FIDE Statutes.
Ever since rumours of the Czech and Slovak Federations withdrawal from the
organisation of the 1995 FIDE Congress began circulating, the French Chess
Federation has been willing to honour its second option to organize this
Congress. We believe that you can still confirm France as the organizer of
the next FIDE Congress. We believe today that this is the best solution.
The French Chess Federation is ready to organize this congress normally and
accordingly to France's second option, in Paris within two months or at the
period running from the 18th to the 25th November.
As FIDE President, you can make this gesture in favor of Peace and Unity
within our Chess Family.
We are hoping for your quick answer.
Truly yours.
The President

SUBJECT: EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY 1995
Dear Mr Loubatiere:
Regarding the above subject, the Philippine Chess Federation joins the
other affiliate federations of FIDE in total support of the French Chess
Federation's proposal to host an Extraordinary Meeting of the FIDE General
Assembly. The PCF supports the view that the French Chess Federation has
the option to host the FIDE Congress folowing the agreement reached during
the Curitiba Congress.
Enclosed is a duly signed motion by the PCF for the convening of the
Extraordinary Assembly in France.
Please convey our position to FIDE or in any other proper forum and in any
manner at your discretion in the best interest of FIDE and its member
federations.
Kindest regards.

MR FLORENCIO CAMPOMANES
President
FIDE
Mr President:
The Philippine Chess Federation requests that the Extraordinary General
Assembly be convened in France within the next two months, in application of
Article 4.15 of the FIDE statutes and for the following additional reasons:
1. The FIDE-PCA Agreement for the reunification match did not
materialize as announced;
2. The match for the Men's World Championship, Karpov-Kampsky, has
no organizer;
3. The match for the Women's World Championship, Xie Jun-Zsuza Polgar,
has no organizer;
4. The Interzonal tournament set in mid-1995 has been postponed to
1996;
5. Communication to member-federations regarding important matters has
not improved; and
6. Chess will not be a demonstration event in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics
as announced in Moscow.

Letter from QATAR CHESS ASSOCIATION
-----------------------------------
Doha, 10 September, 1995
Dear Chess Friend:
We received information that you have asked to, in effect, change the legal
venue of the FIDE General Assembly from Qatar to France.
We came forward to help FIDE when the Czech Chess Federation withdrew very
late from the organization of the Congress. Why are we now being persecuted
for our act of good faith?
Preparations are well advanced in Doha to receive you and all our friends in
FIDE. We are working with our airlines to arrange for special discounts for
FIDE Delegates. The Qatar Chess Association is fully prepared to extend a
warm welcome of hospitality to everyone in the FIDE spirit of Gens Una
Sumus. Qatar has always taken the lead for world peace and we have
guaranteed visas for all FIDE members, without exception.
The Presidential Board in Lausanne on August 26 reconfirmed the award to
Qatar of the organization of the FIDE Congress in the presence of French
delegate Bachar Kouatly who did not object. And 12 days later, Mr Kouatly
goes back to Lausanne asking for an Extraordinary General Assembly.
We see no reason to hold an Extraordinary General Assembly from November 8
to 15 a few (...rest of the sentence garbled in transmission...)
We are relatively small but active federation doing our best to work and help
promote chess. Whatever items they have placed for the agenda of an
Extraordinary General Assembly can be discussed at the regular General
Assembly in Qatar.
Let us meet in Doha as friends in chess.
Gens Una Sumus,

Federation Internationale des Echecs
Avenue de Beaumont 9
CH-1012 LAUSANNE SWITZERLAND
FIDE Congress 1995
1. Curitiba Congress 1993 (Congress Minutes 11.4, page 9)
"General Assembly granted first option to the joint bid of the Czech
and Slovak Republics for the 1995 FIDE Congress, and second option
to France."
2.a) Moscow Congress 1994 (Congress Minutes 23.3, page 17)
"Czech Chess Federation Delegate GM Ludek Pachman confirmed their
bid for 66th FIDE Congress ... GM Pachman said that the Chess
Federations of Czech Republic and Slovakia are joining forces to
organize the Congress which will be held in Brno (CZE) and the last
day in Bratislava (SVK)..."
2.b) Moscow Congress 1994, cont. (Congress Minutes 63, page 29)
"President thanked the host Russian Chess Federation for their
herculian task of organizing the 31st Olympiad and 65th FIDE Congress
in less than two months, and thanked the delegates for their
confidence, with hope that we shall all meet next year in Brno."
The above clearly shows that the Czech option was still valid at the time
of the Moscow Congress, and no change was made regarding the second option
(France) which therefore also was still valid.
3. If the federation which has been granted first option fails to comply
with the requirements stipulated in the FIDE Congress Regulations
(3.3, Handbook A.08, page 2), then the FIDE General Secretary shall
(3.37) inform the Federation that has been granted the next option.
At what date did FIDE inform the French federation of the withdrawal of the
Czech orgnizers? Counting from this date the French federation has 30 days
to confirm its second option by paying the deposit fee etc (3.37 and 3.35).

Mr Florencio Campomanes
I have learned that over 60 (sixty) countries expressed their wish and
demand to have an extraordinary General Assembly in France before the

Mr President, I believe for the unity in the chess world you will take
this wise decision.

Lausanne, 11 September 1995
Mr Jean-Claude Loubatiere
President
Fed. Francaise des Echecs
B.P. 2022
F-34024 Montpellier Cedex 1
France
Dear Mr Loubatiere
Ref: your fax of 8 September 1995.
We are addressing your demand to convene an Extraordinary General Assembly
in France before the 8th of November in application of Article 4.15 of the
FIDE Statutes, with the submission by the delegate of France and FIDE Vice
President at large, Mr Bachar Kouatly, of "letters of 61 countries."
We are surprised because Mr Kouatly did not object to the Presidential
Board's unanimous decision taken in Lausanne on 26 August 1995, where he
was present and participated in deliberations, to reconfirm the decision
of the President on 13 July 1995 to award the FIDE Congress to the Qatar
Chess Association scheduled 18 to 25 November 1995 in Doha.
Without making any comments as yet on the contents of the documents
submitted, FIDE Secretariat is ascertaining the documentation as quickly as
possible.
On the second point "to organize this Congress normally and accordingly to
France's second option, in Paris within the next two months or at the period
running from the 18th to the 25th November," this is another issue. Please
refer to FIDE Statute 4.13 which states:
"Place and date of the General Assembly are determined:
(a) by the preceding General Assembly, or
(b) in the absence of such a decision, by the President."
The President's decision on Qatar is legal and in accordance with the
Statutes since in the preceding General Assembly in Moscow 1994 no second
option was granted nor mentioned.
Sincerely yours,
(signed)
Florencio Campomanes

Dear President,
I would like to thank you very warmly for your support.
It is my pleasure to announce to you that your request for an Extraordinary
General Assembly to be convened, has been presented to the FIDE Secretariat
in lausanne, Switzerland, on the 8th of September.
This request has been supported by 61 Federations. Supports from other
Federations, such as the Philippine Chess Federation which brought us its
full support, are continuing to flow in.
World Champion, Anatoly Karpov, has also written to President Campomanes.
Please find attached a copy of his letter, as well as that of the letter I
sent on September 8th.
I look forward to welcoming you in France.
Yours sincerely
The President

Fax from Gata Kamsky to FIDE dated September 14, 1995.
Dear Mr. President,
Today we received a call from Argentina from Mr. Quinteros. He
informed us that Argentina is asking you to postpone bids until
September 22, 1995, because there is not enough time for them to
prepare all financial documents. This request may also apply to
Saint Petersburg. Both of those cities were informed too late
about all bid requirements. Anatoly Karpov and I want to join the
request of Mr. Quinteros. Thank you for your cooperation.
Signed: Gata Kamsky.
Fax Reply from FIDE dated September 15, 1995
Dear Mr. Kamsky,
We have received your 14 September fax. We have been in contact
with Argentina since 1 September and Mr. Quinteros directly
called us yesterday. We will handle this matter with them
directly. We don't have any direct information, only rumors about
Saint Petersburg. Thank you so much.
Truly yours,
Casto Abundo, Permanent FIDE Secretary.
